1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL R107 EUROPEAN MODEL 107.043 Car!
Here is the chance to own one of the most beautiful roadsters and history changing models that Mercedes-Benz ever made –TRUE EUROPEAN MODEL 1972 Mercedes Benz 350SL R107 Roadster!!! What makes this SL Special is that this is TRUE EUROPEAN model, with famous higher compression 3.5L M116 engine!!!! Although most R107s are extremely well built and collectable, the most desirable and collectable of the R107’s are the early production cars with its features – mainly short or “Euro” bumpers, and higher horse-power than its latter cousins. It is also the first V8 powered two-seater to be built at the Stuttgart, Germany factory. Now that the W113 230/250/280SL's have become priced out of sight, here comes the early small Euro Bumper 350SL. As recently as the mid 1990's, and early 2000’s you could pick up a nice condition 1971 280SL Pagoda Roadster for around $20,000. Almost in the blink of an eye, that's what a basket case now goes for - with good condition examples regularly selling north of $75k and more. Beside more powerful engine and being a TRUE EUROPEAN SL, this beauty also features more elegant European style “short” bumpers, European One Piece Square headlights and they make this Mercedes look absolutely stunning - Just the way how the Mercedes-Benz designed the R107 SL! Even the speedometer is in Kilometers and it was never converted to Miles, a testament to its true European heritage!!! 350SL was a limited production model of R107 series with only 15,304 cars ever produced from 1971 until 1980, with only handful of cars made each year or its production. This beauty is production number 8814.
